Abstract: Introduction: organic fertilizers are essential for sustainable agriculture. These materials, of plant or animal origin, decompose and release nutrients to the soil gradually. Objective: to determine the physical and chemical characteristics of the soil on Captain Rubén Recalde's property before and after the application of organic fertilizers. Method: an observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out related to the physical and chemical characteristics of the soil on Captain Rubén Recalde's property before and after the application of organic fertilizers. The sample will consist of 32 people from said territory selected by a non-probabilistic convenience sampling Results: 38 % of the population surveyed says that they have been involved in agriculture for less than 5 years. 72 % of people say that they do use chemical fertilizers, 84 % of the population considers that organic fertilizer is the best. 44 % tell us that they use fertilizers on their crops every 3 months. 94 % say they would recommend the use of organic fertilizers to others, 60 % say that organic fertilizers release nutrients more slowly and steadily Conclusions: organic fertilizers are a natural form of fertilizer produced from organic materials of plant or animal origin. Fertilizers are intended to nourish the soil and improve fertility, which in turn provides favorable conditions for plant growth and development.
